The police are to re-open their inquiry into the Kingsmill | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
massacre, after a palm print found on a getaway van was linked | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
The new evidence comes 40 years after ten Protestant men were shot | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
dead by an IRA gang, near the County Armagh village. | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
It was a truly dramatic development, which took the families | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
by surprise after 40 years of anger and heartbreak. | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
A group of family members arrived here at the inquest this morning | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
expecting to hear more witness statements about the day their loved | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
Instead, they were taken to a private room and told the shock news | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
that the palm print they had known about for 40 years had been | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
Now the criminal investigation has been reopened, and a senior | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
investigating officer has been appointed to restart the search | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
The reaction of the families was described in court as emotional, | :00:53. | :00:58. | |
stunned silence, but delight at the development. | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
There was no explanation about why it had taken so long to find | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
First of all it would have to be welcomed, but it is never too late. | :01:05. | :01:13. | |
We are going through a mixture of emotions, and I have to be | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
After 40 years we are now told there has been a development. | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
It heard that the print had been identified last Tuesday. | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
and the news was broken to the families today. | :01:29. | :01:41. | |
A barrister said they had come to the inquest with no hope | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
of justice but with hope that the truth might come out. | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
They now say they are delighted at the news the enquiry | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
That print had been taken from the suspected getaway | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
vehicle 40 years ago, so the sudden confirmation of who it | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
belongs to has caused some suspicion among the families. | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
Alan Black is the only survivor of the attack. | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
It went through a review in the 1980s, and another | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
When they have had it all this time, we are just into the inquest, | :02:03. | :02:16. | |
starting to get going, they throw this into the mix. | :02:17. | :02:29. | |
The truth may come, and I think what is wrong | :02:30. | :02:39. | |
The truth may come, and I think what is wrong now, they're | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
afraid of the truth coming out, and everybody is beginning to tell | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
the truth and go into things, whereas before they just brushed | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
The inquest continued in the afternoon with witness | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
statements, and will resume on Thursday. | :02:53. | :02:53. | |
An inquiry into historical child sex abuse here has begun examining | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
allegations relating to the former Kincora Boys' Home in east Belfast. | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
It's expected to look at claims a paedophile ring at the home had | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
Abused as a young boy at Kincora, this man came to the enquiry today | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
Kincora was a home for older teenage boys, and operated in east Belfast | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
from 1958 until it closed amid scandal in 1980. | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
Kincora was a home for older or teenage boys, | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
from 1958 until it closed amid scandal in 1980. | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
Three men were jailed in 1981 for abusing boys there. | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
At least 29 boys were known to be abused at the home. | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
Over the years there have been persistent allegations of a cover-up | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
At the enquiry today MI5 and MI6 were legally represented, | :03:27. | :03:37. | |
and they are co-operating with the enquiry. | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
The enquiry has been provided with full and voluntary cooperation | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
by all Her Majesty's Government departments and agencies. | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
The scale of the allegations due to be heard at the enquiry over | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
the next week was outlined in stark terms. | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
You will hear me referred to, and you will read claims, of state | :03:55. | :04:04. | |
sponsored child prostitution, paedophile rings, blackmail, and | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
cover-ups. Which you will have to examine. | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
The allegations have been circulating for four decades. It was | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
Saturday if they are true, they must be laid bare, and that if they are | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
false, they must be dispelled and laid to rest. | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
Details from some of the intelligence files will be made | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
public; however, some of files will only be seen by the inquiry team. | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
They will then be preserved secret. -- some of the files. -- some of our | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
files. -- some other files. Two men have been arrested | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
by the National Crime Agency in connection with the controversial | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
Nama property deal. The agency said it had also carried | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
out searches at addresses in County Down, in connection | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
with a fraud investigation. Nama, the Republic's so-called bad | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
bank, sold more than one billion pounds worth | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
of property assets in 2014. The shooting of a man | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
by the army in 1971 was neither necessary or proportionate, | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
a coroner has found. Harry Thornton was killed | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
after his car backfired outside The father of six was shot dead by a | :05:08. | :05:23. | |
member of the Parachute Regiment near to the Springfield Road police | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
station. The coroner also find that evidence by a soldier C was | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
inaccurate. He said there was no weapon in the van and no forensic | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
evidence on the victim to show a gun had been fired. | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
He was taken away from me, taken away from his six children. It is | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
good to know no that the world can see that he was innocent, and that | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
soldier C was telling lies and soldier Abels -- shot him and he | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
could have didn't -- done many a thing before he shot him. I'm so | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
glad the truth is out at last. And we can't let him rest now. | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
Arthur Murphy was sitting beside him when he was shot. | :06:15. | :06:29. | |
A week in hospital after... The family's legal term -- team is | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
now applying for the anonymity of the soldiers involved in the | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
incident to be lifted. That is due to be heard later this | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
week. Eight children who came | :06:40. | :06:39. | |
to Northern Ireland after fleeing their home countries have | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
disappeared while they were in the care of the authorities, a BBC | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
Spotlight investigation has found. The programme looks in detail | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
at the cases of two of the missing That's here on BBC One | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
just after this bulletin. Sailors from Ireland who died | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
in the Battle of Jutland 100 years ago were remembered today on board | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
HMS Caroline, the only surviving In all 1,500 Irish sailors died | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
in the First World War. They were Catholics and Protestants, | :07:04. | :07:16. | |
unionists and nationalists from all parts of Ireland, | :07:17. | :07:17. | |
and some were as young This was an unprecedented | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
all-Ireland commemoration today, as Prince Michael of Kent | :07:21. | :07:30. | |
represented us in the Royal Navy, as Prince Michael of Kent | :07:31. | :07:39. | |
representatives from the Royal Navy, Irish Naval Service | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
and the German Admiral joined more than 200 descendants to remember | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
the sacrifice of Irish sailors. They also remembered the 1,000 men | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
in the Merchant Navy He left young twins | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
and a pregnant wife. His daughter was named | :07:54. | :08:08. | |
after the ship he was killed on. He captained an attack | :08:09. | :08:19. | |
against the German cruiser. For those who lived with horror | :08:20. | :08:28. | |
and mental anguish, we remember you. For those with no family to remember | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
them, we remember you. And for those who were | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
forgotten, we remember you. The ceremony here earlier | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
was particularly poignant for descendants of those | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
who were killed. Earlier I spoke to two | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
women whose relatives saw the horrors of the Battle | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
of Jutland and survived. Very proud of my grandfather, | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
and the fact also that HMS Caroline and has been restored | :08:54. | :09:04. | |
to its former glory. So generations and generations | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
are going to see and hopefully get some insight into what it was like | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
to be involved, live on the ship, be involved in the war, | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
and the horrors that Memories I have got from older | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
people are that he would stand in his doorway, post-war, | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
and he would look into I'm sure he was recalling absolute | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
atrocities. He would have seen the Queen Mary | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
going down, over 1,200 on board, not to mention the noise and how | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
appalling that was. He would have also witnessed | :09:44. | :09:52. | |
the burials at sea off HMS Tiger. There were 28 buried, and I'm sure | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
he must have known them. So I'm sure all those memories must | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
have been recurring. The families of sailors | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
remembering their role in the Battle Football now, and the Republic have | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
been playing their final warm up Football now, and the Republic have | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
been playing their final warm-up game before the start | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
of the European Championships - The home side looked in control in | :10:16. | :10:30. | |
the early stages, but Belarus took the lead. A fine finish... Martin | :10:31. | :10:42. | |
O'Neill's men then went close. Before Belarus doubled their | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
advantage. This deflected shot going in. Substitute Shane Long made an | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
instant impact when he came off the bench, setting up Stephen Ward to | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
make it 2-1, but the Republic couldn't find that elusive second | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
goal. Martin O'Neill will submit his final 23 man squad for the European | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
Championships within the next hour or so; it looks as though David | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
Myler, Darron Gibson and Stephen Quinn will be battling it out for | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
two spots, after Harry Arter was ruled out of the competition with a | :11:22. | :11:22. | |
thigh injury. The Northern Ireland football team | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
have headed off to Austria for more training ahead | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
of the European Championship finals. They will take on Poland | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
in their opening game in Nice Their final friendly | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
is against Slovakia That's the news and sport for now; | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
finally on to the weather forecast, and with the details, | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
here's Cecilia Daly. Good evening. It's been another | :11:41. | :11:49. | |
stunning day. Tomorrow is the 1st of June, officially the start of | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
summer, and it looks like the summary weather will continue. This | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
is a selection of today's temperatures. Missed and low cloud | :11:57. | :12:10. | |
has stubbornly clung on in places. It will flow southwards tonight as | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
temperatures fall away, which may lead to a spot of fog first thing | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
tomorrow. So if it is grey first thing tomorrow, give it some time | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
because the warm sunshine will eventually break through, and it is | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
more likely to be misty across the North and west. Summer skies will | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
win out in most places. Across much of Scotland, the Republic of | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
Ireland, this is where the best of the weather will be and the highest | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
temperatures. In contrast of many parts of England particularly | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
eastern counties of England, London and the Midlands it is chilly, | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
cloudy, although the rain will become lighter compared to today. So | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
we are looking at similar temperatures to -- tomorrow across | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
Northern Ireland. A little bit cooler towards the north coast due | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
to that breeze coming in off the sea. More fine weather to come on | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
Thursday, perhaps temperatures sliding a little bit but still | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
feeling warm in that sunshine. And it continues as we head towards the | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
weekend; temperatures dropping a little bit. More cloud around this | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
weekend, but still plenty of dry weather. | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
